Help w/ HID's and Euro Smiley's

Ok, fair 'nuff.

Finally --- what about the city lights? How do I wire those up, on a sealed beam car?

I wired mine off of my front parking lights, or you can run them off of your side marker lights too.

Thats what i did to mine and a few other people has done it to with no problems.

So I just run a wire from the #30 pin on the low beam relay to the #30 pin on the high beam relay?

Is that -safe- ? Don't want to burn up the fusebox...

[JasonC]

Mines a sealed beam car and my HIDs did not come with any thing like that. I have had my HIDs in for about 6 or 7 months now with no problem. And you will have to do the relay mod for your lows to stay on with your highs.

Is these going into a sealed beam car or a ellips light car? cause if it is a ellips car from the factory you don't have to do the relay mod. And you souldn't need that harness your talking about.

These are going into a sealed beam car - '88 M3.

I figured it was easier to ask all my questions in "phases", rather than bombard everyone in one post w/ all my questions, and get none answered.... :D

Do I need that harness for a sealed beam car?

This is what I was looking at:

That the right one?

Oh, also, do I need one of those relay harnesses? I see some kits come with them, with a fuse and relay in a wiring harness --- do I need that?

You are frickin' awesome! Thanks for the help!

I'll try not to bother you again - but y'never know ;)

[JasonC]

And to get the highs to work with the lows, you'll have to do the relay mod in this thread http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/show...408#post736408

Yellow is your hot wire on you factory harness and that goes to "A".
Brown is ground that goes to "B".
the white with purple tracer on the factory harness just leave it disconnected.

[Low Level E30]

Now how do I hook up A + B to a sealed beam car?

[Low Level E30]

E=3
D=2
C=1
A= hot wire off of your factory harness
B= ground wire off of your factory harness

Awesome - thank you!

[JasonC]

No don't throw nothing away.
